ボーエン・マンゴ（ケンジントン・プライド種）

1月17日（日）快晴

今年はマンゴが大豊作。ケアンズでは庭にマンゴを植えている家庭が多く、食べ切れないマンゴをゴミバケツへ投入。ゴミバケツが重過ぎてゴミ回収車のピックアップが持ち上がらなくなる事故が頻発。青物市場にマンゴは数種類並びます。ＯＺが珍重するのがボーエン・マンゴ。1個500ｇ前後。10個入りの箱入りの最高級品が1200円。僕は1個1ｋｇ以上あるR2E2やペリカン・マンゴも好き。マンゴはウルシ科の植物なのでかぶれる人もいます。

Bowen mango　(Kensington Pride species)
Sun. January 17 : fine

We had the bonanza crop of mangos this year. There are a lot of homes that plant mango trees in their back yards and people threw away mangos that are more than they could eat into the garbage bins. The bins were too heavy for the rubbish vehicles to pick them up and that has caused frequent accidents. Several different kinds of mangos are displayed at the green markets. Among them Bowen mangos are highly esteemed by OZs. They weigh around 500g each. The finest ones that are packed in 10 a box are $15. I also like R2E2s that weigh more than 1kg each or pelican mangos. Mangoes are from vanish tree family, so some people get a rash.
